We’ve compiled Conan’s theme songs into a playlist, so you may find some that bring back a lot of memories.

In thousands of labyrinths, solving thousands of mysteriesBREAKERZ

This is the 17th single by BREAKERZ, featuring vocalist DAIGO’s striking character.

With this song marking their seventh tie-in with Detective Conan, they’ve become an indispensable artist for the series.

The lyrics, which revolve around solving mysteries, also convey that the track was created with Conan in mind.

Time after time ~In the City Where Flowers Dance~Kuraki Mai

Mai Kuraki – Time after time ~In the Town Where Flowers Dance~
Time after time ~In the City Where Flowers Dance~Kuraki Mai

The theme song of the film Crossroad in the Ancient Capital, one of the most popular among fans.

With its distinctly Japanese-style arrangement, the song fits the movie perfectly.

Also, since Mai Kuraki graduated from Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, the song was inspired by her student days and the scattering cherry blossoms she saw there.

Detective Conan Theme and Insert Songs (31–40)

The theme songs used in Detective Conan are all really cool, aren’t they? This one is another cool opening song.

Maybe to match the tension in the music, the visuals show Ran searching for Shinichi, giving it a slightly serious vibe.

Whenever this song plays, I can’t help but have my attention drawn to the TV.

Don’t Wanna LieB’z

A B’z song that passionately proclaims the strong resolve to never lie to oneself at life’s pivotal moments.

Released in June 2011 as their 49th single, it was used as the opening theme for the anime Detective Conan and as the theme song for the film Detective Conan: Quarter of Silence.

Koshi Inaba’s heartfelt lyrics and Tak Matsumoto’s dramatic melody—crafted to resonate on both television and in the theater—perfectly align with the protagonist’s pursuit of truth.

The track is also included on the album C’mon and the best-of compilation B’z The Best XXV 1999–2012.

When you’re wavering before a major decision and want to stay true to your convictions, this song will give you a powerful push forward.

Unraveling Love ~A Little Courage~Kuraki Mai

Mai Kuraki “Unraveling Love ~A Little Courage~” Lyric Video
Unraveling Love ~A Little Courage~Kuraki Mai

This is a track by Mai Kuraki where a cool city-pop sound fuses with rock’s intensity.

Released in October 2023, it was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Detective Conan, marking her 26th tie-in with the series.

It captures a frustrating love that seems mutual yet feels one-sided, vividly portraying the earnest desire to define that ambiguous relationship.

The rapid-fire chorus, delivered in a rush, feels just like a racing heartbeat.

Also included on the 2024 EP “forever for YOU,” this song gently gives a push to anyone who wants to close the distance with someone they like but can’t quite take that final step.

Proof of Eternal AbsenceToukyou Jihen

Tokyo Incidents – The Eternal Alibi of Absence
Proof of Eternal AbsenceToukyou Jihen

It’s a thrilling rock number written specifically as the theme song for the theatrical film Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet.

Shiina Ringo’s dark worldview and Tokyo Jihen’s superb band sound blend seamlessly, instantly pulling listeners into the story.

The lyrics portray the resolve of someone who, bearing a truth that must never be revealed, throws themselves into a solitary battle—perfectly mirroring the tense atmosphere of the film.

The track was included on the EP News, released in April 2020.

It’s the kind of song that can give you a push when you want to sink into a mysterious mood or steel yourself for a major decision.

GARNET CROW - Forgotten Bloom (Hitoshi Okamoto)

It’s an ending theme from Detective Conan.

The relaxed tempo is very characteristic of GARNET CROW and really soothing.

The lyrics use many expressions that feel deep and contemplative.

Conan often features heartrending cases, and I think this song fits that perfectly.
